[s-cars] Oil Pan Needed - 95.5 S6

[Mark Strangways]

Just for the record, aluminum is very easy to weld.
You can MIG weld it or TIG weld it. As long as you have shielding gas it a
no brainier.
In my first welding attempt, I was able to weld together 8" al pipe to form
the floats for my dock at the cottage.
Air tight in one try... not to pat my own back or anything, but if I ca do
it anyone can :-)
